    The company I work for is setting up a lisp routine that I customized and fixed. They want me to add a help file so they can install the lisp routine at another location we have. I have never done a help file. I downloaded "HTML Help Workshop" and I was wandering what sort of things needs to be in the Help file. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

    You said "They want me to add a help file so they can install the lisp routine at another location we have", which implies that the 'routine' is not yet installed. If you place a 'help' file - (within) the routine, it will not be available - (until) after installation.
    What I would do is create a simple 'readme.txt' file in Notepad, explaining what they have to do in order to 1) save the file to a particular 'place' - folder location. 2) Give example of placing a call to the routine - in their 'menu' file. How to re-compile that menu.. 3) Show a sample run of the program, what it needs for 'input' / proper responses to prompts, and what it is intended to do - (as an operation / change).
    Hope this gives you some assist.
